Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Silhouette operates a shielded onchain trading venue positioned as a universal block trading layer. Trades settle on Hyperliquid, spanning both HyperCore and HyperEVM, and the venue routes orders into a competitive quoting process in which quotes compete for a given order rather than resting in a fully transparent public book.

The product is presented as covering every market and instrument accessible through the Hyperliquid environment, with a web front end offering direct access to trading. The company's public site lists a team of thirteen, including co-founders Chandler De Kock and Stent Mayne (co-founder and engineer), Head of Engineering Aidan de Nobrega, a head of growth, a product owner and UX lead, an architect, a communications lead, a business development lead, and several principal, fullstack and general engineers.

Business model
